LogRhythm 6.0 enables SmartRemediation for organisation to automatically take action in response to any alaram

LogRhythm has introduced LogRhythm 6.0, a major evolution to its SIEM 2.0 security intelligence platform with significant innovations in cyber threat defence, detection and response.

LogRhythm said its 6.0 software release addresses the cyber threats, intrusions and data breaches by which organisations can extend their security strategy to accelerate the detection of advanced attacks and respond to the attacks.

In addition, organisations can now detect suspicious and threatening activity faster and accuratey by combining situational awareness and target profiling with host and user activity monitoring and advanced correlation and pattern recognition with the help of LogRhythm 6.0.

To ensure the right information to reach the right people at the right time, and in a format suited to their specific role and job function the LogRhythm’s software introduces targeted information delivery, a selection of customisable interfaces, said the company.

LogRhythm said the new software provides organisations with SmartRemediation, intelligent process-driven capabilities to automatically take action in response to any alarm. SmartRemediation delivers immediate action when threats or breaches are identified, internal or compliance-specific policies are violated, or critical operational thresholds are crossed.

Through the introduction of Knowledge Modules, pre-packaged, tailored content aligned with specific regulatory mandates, use cases or functions being performed by specific users of the LogRhythm platform LogRhythm 6.0 advances security intelligence.

LogRhythm 6.0 also features performance increases of up to four times than its 5.1 version and with the 6.0 performance enhancements customers can collect, analyse and correlate massive amounts of data efficiently and effectively, said the company.

LogRhythm said the enhancments in LogRhythm’s data architecture and new high performance database techniques have resulted in speeds in indexing, reporting and search as well as a 2X increase in storage efficiency for indexed and raw logs.

LogRhythm CTO and co-founder Chris Petersen said to address the threats of today and tomorrow, organisations require an integrated security intelligence platform providing real-time situational awareness on the state of their network and the threats within and out.

"With LogRhythm 6.0, we deliver on this need and introduce the next required evolution in SIEM – usable automatic remediation. The combination of target aware pattern recognition with SmartRemediation allows our customers to accurately detect high risk threats and automatically and intelligently, remediate when seen," said Petersen.
